From the 2022 vintage, this Cabernet Franc is a bright, spicy, medium-bodied red that offers notes of dried rose petals, crisp, crunchy acidity, and firm tannins. It’s quite expressive in its herbaceousness, which is well integrated and layered throughout. Balancing vibrancy with structure, this well-rounded red will appeal to fans of the variety.

The Spicewood Vineyards Red Wine Blend “Tandem” (a 50/50 blend of Carignan and Mourvèdre) is a fragrant wine that opens with delicate rose petal and violet notes, complemented by candied orange peel and red currant fruits. Medium-bodied, it features sappy tannins and layered flavors of agave nectar, toffee, and caramel, with subtle hints of dill.

Sourced from Dutton Vineyards in the Texas High Plains, this well-built, polished Tempranillo from Spicewood presents sweet red-toned fruit and subtle spice character. Medium-bodied on the palate, salty mineral notes add complexity, leading to a toasty cedarwood finish. Balanced and refined, this wine offers a harmonious blend of fruit, spice, and structure.

Spicewood Vineyards’ 2019 “The Independence” is a fragrant Cabernet Franc that opens with rose petal and lavender notes, interlaced with black cherry and red currant fruits. Medium-bodied on the palate, the bright florality counterbalances the wine’s dense red fruit and spice characters, while sappy, fine-grained tannins provide a smooth, structured mouthfeel. The wine glides to a satisfying finish.

The 2022 Louisa from Spicewood Vineyards is a 100% Sémillon that shines with simplicity and charm. This easy-drinking, straightforward wine offers lively citrus character, accented by a subtle hint of crushed Marcona almonds. The bright, clean saline finish adds a refreshing touch, making it an enjoyable and approachable expression of Sémillon. Perfect for casual sipping or pairing with light dishes.
This 100% Sauvignon Blanc, harvested at 23.5 Brix and aged for five months in stainless steel, is a vibrant white. It opens with high-toned herbaceous and spice notes, leading to flavors of creamy melon, lime, and a zesty lime finish.
